netidee projects: Fight Fakes

Fight Fakes is an interactive learning platform with online games and videos that helps young people to recognize and understand fakes and deep fakes.

Fakes and deep fakes are becoming increasingly difficult to recognize, but ever easier to generate. It is difficult to keep track of true and false, fake and real, especially when content spreads rapidly via social media. It often takes just a few seconds and a gut feeling to decide whether content is real or fake.

Together with Bytewood, saferinternet.at has developed games and videos in which students have to decide whether or not they trust a piece of content as closely as possible to their everyday lives. Making decisions via swipe or emoji and being redirected to the next image or video within a certain time is also intended to imitate the experience of young people.

To enable teachers to use the game in the classroom, there is the option of creating an instance for each class; students can access the quiz instance via QR code or link and compete against each other. In addition, accompanying materials have been developed to support teachers in using the game in the classroom.
